The Frog Prince | Frau Holle

The Frog Prince

Is that light at the bottom of the well perhaps the moon? And SPLASH! There it goes, right into the well: no, not the child, just his favourite toy. These things happen. But who on earth is this strange frog who’s promising to fetch it back up? What on earth is this bloke thinking, following the girl – just because of a childish white lie – right into her cosy home? Sitting at her table, eating from her little plate and even wanting to sleep with her in her little bed? Hello, are you mad?! The father coldly tells his little daughter: ‘You have to keep the promises you’ve made!’ Not so in our world! In our world, we don’t kiss frogs just because they claim to be enchanted princes! Because if you say ‘A’, you don’t have to do ANYTHING! Our princess knows how to stand her ground in a bigoted adult world, and the frog ends up exactly where he belongs: on the wall: SPLASH!

Parents bring their children into this fairy tale at their own risk.

Good girls go to heaven; bad girls go everywhere. In the constant competition for recognition within society, anarchy is simply forgotten as a productive element of creation. Higher and higher, further and further, faster and faster – and in the end, only one winner gets the gold medal. But what about all the others standing beside the winners’ podium? They say that once your reputation is ruined, you can live quite uninhibitedly. And suddenly the world is your oyster: those who behave well get top marks; the others, however, get sex appeal.
